Where Brady was fearless before, will this injury leave an imprint in his mind, a slight doubt or panic whenever he hears the oncoming feet of a defensive end? He wouldn't be the first recovering quarterback to have had his confidence shaken so.
Unfortunately, the Patriots have to make a decision before seeing Brady in action again. The only sure way they will keep Cassel is to franchise him, which would make Brady an unrestricted free agent - and perhaps cost the team the best quarterback it has ever had.

I do recall hearing multiple times that "nobody on this team makes more money than Tom Brady."
Franchising Cassel would make him get paid more than Tom
IF Brady's contract actually has a clause in it that says that if the Patriots sign someone for more than Brady, then Brady is an UFA, well then that might actually be the case.
Miguel - do you know if that is the case?

I'm not speaking for Miguel here, but doesn't it seem strange that this has never been mentioned before?
I'm more inclined--without evidence to the contrary--to believe that he's simply an idiot.

How would he be getting paid more than Tom? Tom's contract was 6 years for 60 milli. Cassel would be earning 14 milli. If you're going strictly by a yearly salary amount, then Tom would've been a UDFA when Asante was tagged last year and had a higher salary than Brady did. There is no such clause, the writer is just an idiot. Not to mention, if for some reason the team released/traded Brady, they would still be on the hook for a $10 milli cap charge next year, which, as we discussed in other threads, but you seemingly fail to acknowledge or accept, will never happen.

I tend not to buy it. You may remember the Broncos cooking the books with contract figures and salary cap details during the Elway era. I do not think anything other than the salary cap relevant details of a contract need be disclosed to the NFL/public. If that is the case, Brady, his agent or the team would have to leak that condition to the media (that is a personal condiition, not a salary cap detail). All the main sports sources (ESPN, Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, etc.) have said nothing all this time despite discussing Cassel and Brady, and that is a fairly major point. My money is on the article being garbage.
With that said, as Brady has taken a hit to stay here (despite his high salary) I would not be surprised if he put that clause in his contract as a condition of the hometown discount.
Some EPIC FAIL "reporting"
